Good Morning, World.

A comparison, if you will....

For the record folks, Green Lantern probably one of the few hero movies that I'm staying the fuck away from this coming year.

Why? Let's see. Here's the actual trailer for the real movie that's coming to theatres:

And here, by comparison, we have a fan-made trailer. All lantern-specific effects were popped in by, well, a fan. That's right, not an actual film-cgi-effects-specialist or what have you. Add in characterization that doesn't scream 'spoiled brat' or 'duh' constantly, and well, just watch the damn thing:

So, which one would you rather see?

Hey! Seattle steampunkish folks! Check out what's happening next week!

Now, as you may be aware, Phil Foglio and Kaja Foglio, creators of the famed Girl Genius comic, are about to release their first full-length Girl Genius novel, for which they're running a bunch of promo stuff places, doing their best to get readers to order a copy on the 12th (as a bit of a birthday present for Kaja), and all sorts of other bits. What you may not know, is that next week there's a great chance to hear them reading some of the book live.

Next Thursday, the 13th, they'll be presenting a live reading at the Night Kitchen (and also enjoying some of the tasty foodstuffs available as well) with some of the material from the new book. They'll be coming in around 8pm to eat, then read, so if you want to show up and grab a table in time to enjoy the event, that'd be about the time to do it! They will also be doing a full signing and everything, so it's definitely a good opportunity to hit, if you're a fan.


 Hope to see a bunch of you there.
